Real Art Ways Welcomes Derek Hall to its
Board of Trustees!

Real Art Ways announced the addition to the Board of Trustees, Derek Hall. Derek Hall is an anti-racist intergroup facilitator, public speaker, and activist. Derek has worked with Real Art Ways for many years as a Film Facilitator for Real Art Ways' Film Field Trip program. On a Film Field Trip, students come to the Real Art Ways cinema to watch documentary films on social issues. After each film, a film facilitator guides a discussion, encouraging students to investigate the issues raised in the film and relate to these issues in their own lives.

About Real Art Ways
Real Art Ways began in the fall of 1975 when a group of artists set up a live-work space in downtown Hartford. The organization has grown into one of the country’s best-respected contemporary art spaces, with support for artists and connections with community as core values. Real Art Ways is notable for the excellence of its presentations, having presented over 43 MacArthur Genius grantees. Real Art Ways recently embarked on a new chapter, purchasing 56 Arbor Street and planning an expansion.
